I absolutely agree about the flipping LCD screen. Took some shots with the 15mm in Thailand recently, using the kx was such a pain for composing the shot.

twitch do u MF the lens? Once the 10 stop is on the AF totally fails for me. And MF with the kx is terrible on live view. I guess one could do hyperfocal....

The trick is to compose and focus without the filter. Then switch to MF, put it on, and shoot.

Yes MF as AF doesn't work, and I'm not going to take the filter on and off for each shot. With f/16 on a 15mm lens I can just twist focus until a bit before infinity and let the huge DOF do the rest.
